Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1 at 5.0 against Linphone's 2.7. 1 also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Linphone's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
